Here at Oasis Grower Solutions, we understand that one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to propagation substrates.
We also understand your substrate choices significantly impact your operation’s quality, profitability and long-term success.
With so much riding on that decision, it’s not surprising some propagators avoid change. But we’re here to tell you that sticking with the substrate status quo — especially if that means loose fill — could be keeping you from the lower operational costs and stronger margins you’ve been hoping for.
That’s why we invite you to experience the difference that labor-saving soilless OASIS® Fertiss® PlugTray stabilized propagation substrate can make in the quality and speed of rooting and transplant performance, and much more.
Strengthening Margins with OASIS® Fertiss®
As a propagator, you’ll appreciate the benefits of OASIS® Fertiss® PlugTray from the moment you unpack the box. These stabilized plugs come preloaded in stackable trays that protect your plugs during shipment, so your propagation media never gets compressed.
Ideal for vegetative, seed and tissue culture (stage III) propagation of floriculture crops, culinary herbs, vegetables and soft fruits, OASIS® Fertiss® PlugTray ships at 60% moisture content with advanced surfactants to enhance initial saturation and rewetting.
When you’re ready to go, OASIS® Fertiss® is ready on demand. Instead of filling trays, you can stay focused on growing — and save time, equipment and labor before you even touch a plug.
Once you do start sticking cuttings, even more margin-building benefits come into play. You’ll understand why some of the world’s finest propagators forgo the status quo and choose OASIS® Fertiss® PlugTray for their high-value crops.
The Gravity-Fed OASIS® Fertiss® Advantage
You’ve probably heard talk about gravity-fed growing media. But you may not understand fully what that means for OASIS® Fertiss® and for you.
When we manufacture OASIS® Fertiss® PlugTray, we use a high-quality blend that stays consistent throughout the season. The soilless media is fed into its stabilizing wrap by gravity — not by vacuums, like some of our competitors do.
Our gravity-fed production process gives us greater control over the media’s density and composition, so plugs are always even, consistent and uncompacted.
Even with delicate Stage III tissue culture propagation, you can easily tuck your micro cuttings into the media with a quick dibble and a gentle hand. With standard vegetative cuttings and OASIS® Fertiss®, you can skip predibbling altogether.
Cuttings insert faster and easier, minimizing any damage to cutting tips. You optimize your URC investment and save time and labor again. It’s a world of difference from trying to seed or stick inconsistent, compressed, vacuum-fed plugs.
During young plant production, the savings you gain with OASIS® Fertiss® keep stacking up. You’ll see a higher strike rate on tougher crops. The unique tray design that protected your media during shipping also promotes natural air pruning for dense fibrous roots the full plug length. With advanced surfactants still at work, irrigation efficiency and related labor are optimized, too.
With OASIS® Fertiss® PlugTray, young plants establish quickly. Spacing, sorting, grading and handling are simpler. Bench times are shorter. Plugs extract easier, whether your operation is automated or not. Transplanting is faster and easier, too. Plus, you don’t have to worry about transplant shock.
Grower-Driven Options
For 55+ years in the propagation media industry, Oasis Grower Solutions has stayed true to our promise to provide propagators and growers with the solutions you need. With OASIS® Fertiss® PlugTray, that’s abundantly clear.
We offer this quality, labor-saving stabilized plug media in well over a dozen different options, including trays, strips and split trays, with multiple plug sizes. If your operation would benefit from an OASIS® Fertiss® configuration not listed on our website, we want to hear about it. That’s how all these options came to be. And they don’t stop there.
Our standard, peat-based OASIS® Fertiss® PlugTray ships pH adjusted, without a starter fertilizer charge. But customizations for fertilizer and pH are available. If your needs include custom blends or custom mixes, including peat-free options such as coco, we’re ready to talk about that, too.
So don’t let the substrate status quo keep you from exploring new ways to achieve your goals.
